Push button slide mechanism and method of assembling the same

A push button slide mechanism, comprising:

• an outer member having a bottom wall and an upstanding side wall;
• the outer member defining at least one pair of holes through the upstanding side wall;
• wherein the at least one pair of holes are two pairs of oppositely disposed holes through the upstanding side wall of the outer member,
• an inner member having a top plate and a bottom plate defining a single annular channel therebetween, said single annular channel comprising a circumferential channel that is completely open about the periphery of the inner member;
• wherein both the top plate and the bottom plate are circular in shape;
• wherein both the top plate and bottom plate have substantially the same diameter;
• wherein the top plate and the bottom plate have respective continuous planar surfaces that define respective top and bottom surfaces of the circumferential channel;
• a spring member, the spring member spring-biasing the outer member relative to the inner member;
• whereby pressing the inner member toward the outer member against the spring forces of the spring causes the single annular channel to align with the holes through the upstanding side wall of the outer member thereby permitting an elongated member to pass through the at least one pair of the holes in the outer member and through the single annular channel of the inner member;
• wherein the single annular channel receives the elongated member in all rotational positions of the inner member relative to the outer member;
• whereby release of the inner member relative to the outer member provides a spring clamping force of the push button slide mechanism to the elongated member.
